The Realm of Yavanna is one of CoE’s fourteen realms, communities based on Tolkien’s Valar, or godlike beings who ruled Middle-earth. As it is named after and based on Yavanna Kementári, the Valië mostly associated with plants and the earth, many of Yavanna’s members are interested in gardening, creative endeavours, cooking, music, and other activities that Yavanna might have enjoyed. (You can read more about Yavanna here.)
The realm forum is divided into four subforums. The first of these is “About Yavannildi”, in which members offer Happy Birthday greetings, petition for a wider range of shoe sizes, and discuss their different dialects. Did you know that “yooper” is slang for someone who lives in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, or that 52% of the Yavannildi prefer dark chocolate to the milk variety?
The next subforum is “Contests and Activities”, in which the Yavannildi discuss realm projects, contests, and activities, such as a poetry swap and a realm slogan contest. Another subforum is “News and Announcements.” Though most news is announced on the realm’s “front page”, or main forum, the News and Announcements forum functions as a news archive and place to announce news that is not urgent.
The last subforum is “Playtime and Discussion”, the heart of the realm, in which the Yavannildi play games, talk about their lives, roleplay, and more. The most active thread is the Randomness thread, closely followed by games such as The Person Above Me.
